This patch extends Linux RISC-V build system to build and install:
Image - Flat uncompressed kernel image
Image.gz - Flat and GZip compressed kernel image
Quiet a few bootloaders (such as Uboot, UEFI, etc) are capable of

booting flat and compressed kernel images. In case of Uboot, booting
nits: U-Boot
Thanks for the review. The PR has already been tagged, but it's not scheduled
to be sent out until later today. I generally try to avoid rewriting the tags
unless there's something major that's wrong, so unless you feel very strongly
about this then I think I'll let it stand.
Let me know if this is a big deal for you, I can rewrite things.
Image or Image.gz is achieved using bootm command.
The flat and uncompressed kernel image (i.e. Image) is very useful
in pre-silicon developent and testing because we can create back-door
HEX files for RAM on FPGAs from Image.

I also won't include the tags unless I rewrite the tags.
Thanks for the review!
